Can I restore a single calendar archive to iCal without replacing my current ical data in other calendars?

I archived an iCal calendar.  When I went to import it back into iCal, a message says "The iCal backup “abcd.icbu” will replace your current iCal data. You can’t undo this action."  Will it replace ALL my current iCal data, or just any data in a calendar labeled "abcd"?

imci,
As the warning says: "...will replace your current iCal data." All of your current data will be overwritten with the .icbu file.
I presume that you do not want to do that.
One method of accomplishing the integration without losing current data, is to use iCal>File>Export>Export... for each one of your current calendars. That method will create .ics files for the individual calendars. After creating those .ics files and saving them to a suitable location, you can then use the .icbu file to restore from the archive.
After the archive restoration is complete, you can go to the saved location and double click on the .ics files. You will be offered a choice to create a new calendar, or integrate into an existing calendar. Use the choice appropriate for your situation.

  • Can I restore a file to my desktop instead of replacing the current file?

    I want to check an older version of a database, but I don't want to replace my current copy which contains new information.
    Is there a way to bring a previous copy of the file forward so I can work with it?

    Yes.. you will need to follow this.

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

    I signed into icloud to find my iphone. icloud tried to upload my calendar, froze my desktop calendar and then erased it when I unchecked the box. I use time machine. Can I restore my desktop calendar and how do I keep everything but my phone locator and mail off? I do not want to sync my desktop with icloud except for mail.

    This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
    If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

  • How can I restore deleted pictures from an iPhone 5  without back up?

    How can I restore deleted pictures from an iPhone 5  without back up?

    If you've previously synced the pictures to a computer (as is generally advised to archive them), then they are gone, unless you have backed up the device to itunes or icloud.  If so, you need to perform a restore:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your phone.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Note that you cannot restore just one file, it's all or nothing.

  • IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without resetting to factory defaults?

    IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without having to reset to factory defaults? I have both iCloud and iTunes backups....

    No.
    Apple has no support or provision for reverting to a previous iOS version.
    Try a reset of your iPad by holding down the power button and hone button simultaneously until your iPad screen goes black and the Apple Logo reappears on screen, then let go of the buttons.

  • How can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without doing the restore through iTunes? He can't remember his passcode and when I try to restore through iTunes it never completes the update/restore without timing out?!?!

    HOw can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without going through iTunes restore? When I plug into iTunes it will never complete the update/restore without timing out? He can't remember his password. I can't get my iTunes to update to the newest level either without timing out. Please help!

    The thread title differs from the original post, sorry for the confusion.  I read password instead of passcode.
    The only way past a passcode lock is by entering the passcode.  Refer to HT1212 iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen:
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    As for timing out during the restore...
    If there isn't any antivirus or firewalls in the way, I would try restoring from a different user account or even a different computer.  If still unable to restore without timing out, I would try a different network.

  • How can I restore a deleted calendar from time machine

    I accidentally deleted one of my calendars.  How can I restore it from time machine?

    I'm not sure why it didn't work.  I deleted the old Calendar folder and then replaced it with a Time Machine version of the same folder from the previous day.  Then I opened iCal and there was still nothing there.
    The reason I just deleted Calendar folder and it's sub-folders and tried to start from scratch is because I could tell which sub-folder was for any one specific calendar since the sub-folder names were in some sort of code.

    You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
    iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
    Next try:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Can I restore to factory settings in my iMac without compromising iTunes or iPhoto?

    I recently purchased a new iMac, but it seems to be running slower than it should. I fear this is from the transfer it completed from my old macbook. Can I restore factory settings and erase all the unnecessary stuff without erasing the items in my iTunes library or iPhoto library? Please advise. Gracias.

    Putting it back to factory settings means erasing the hard drive. Your iMac did not come from the factory with your music or photos on it, right?
    Move those libraries (the iTunes library is in your Music folder, the iPhoto library is in the Pictures folder, unless you moved either one previously) to an external hard drive. Then erase the internal hard drive and reinstll the system. Reconnect the external hard drive. Launch iPhoto while holding down the option key on your keyboard. When it asks where to find the library, point it to the library on the external hard drive. Do the same thing with iTunes.
    Best of luck.

    clearly they are trying to create a hotspot from a wifi internet connection but don't want to use cellular.
    Perhaps it's the only device that can connect ( ie Hotel wifi)
    If the iPhone can connect to the wifi, the computer can connect to the wifi.
    Why use the iPhone to connect to wifi then connect the computer to the iPhone via wifi to get the computer onto hotel wifi?

  • Can I sync a single calendar to two separate mobile me accounts

    My wife and I have separate dot mac accounts and separate mobil me accounts. We each keep separate work and personal contacts and calendars on our computers and they sync to our separate I phones. We would like to have a single family calendar that will sync automatically through mobil me for entries made by either of us to the others phone, downlinking to our separate computers.
    Is this possible?

    Please read this entire post before doing anything, so that you can understand what you need to do.
    My wife and I have the same scenario and I have a work around. Here is what we have:
    She has an iPhone 3g and a Mac Book. I have an IPhone 3Gs and a Mac Book Pro. I have my Mobile Me account, and she has her own Mobile Me account.
    Before you do anything, go to each of your computers and backup both your address books and calenders.
    Here is how I have ours sync:
    1) The 2 laptops are both setup under Mobile Me in the System Preferences under my Mobile Me account. In here, I have both laptops setup to sync the address book(s) and the calender(s) but nothing else.
    2) On your computer, import your wifes backed up address book and calenders into your iCal and Address Book on your computer. Make sure that your wifes calender had a different name than yours in the iCal program. I mean make sure that your calender and hers was not both labeled something like "Home". My wifes is labeled "Her Personal" and my calender is labeled "His Personal". You can do the same thing for the Hers and your address books, by putting them in different categories before you back them up and import them.
    3) After these are setup on your computer, then (a) go to System Preferences, and then (b) go to Mobile Me. In Mobile Me (c) click on the "Sync" tab. (d) Click on Advanced at the lower right hand corner of the window. Then (e) click on the Resync Data button. In the next window (f) click on the RIGHT arrow and the click replace. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) to your Mobile Me cloud.
    4) On your wifes computer repeat Step 3. Except, in step (f) click on the LEFT arrow. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) from you Mobile Me cloud to your wifes computer. You are now half way done.
    5) On your iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on your Mobile Me account. Here you will need to turn on Mail Contacts and Calenders.
    It will be setup a little different on your wifes iPhone however.
    6) On your wifes iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on her Mobile Me account. Here you need to make sure that only Mail is on. Make sure that Calenders and Contacts is turned off.
    7) Go back to Mail, Contacts, Calenders on your wifes iPhone. Click on Add Account. Here you will need to add YOUR Mobile Me account information.
    8) After you have entered you Mobile Me account information on her phone, go back into Settings and then to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on you Mobile Me account again. Under your account on her phone, turn off Mail, but turn on Contacts and Calenders.
    9) Open both the Calenders apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
    10) Open both the Contacts apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
    You should now be able to keep your contacts and address books in sync on both computers and iPhones, but still be able to keep you individual e-mail accounts in sync on the seperate computers and iPhones. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Can I restore a single photo/photo folder from Time Machine/Time Capsule

    Hi
    So I'm usuing Time Machine to back up my MacBook to Airport Time Capsule.
    If I somehow lost a couple of photos and its taken a few months to realise, can I retrieve just these photos/photo folder or do I need to restore my whole photo library going back to a past date - and then how can I be sure which date to restore back to - is there anyway of actually viewing the photos for a certain date before restoring?
    And if the only way is to restore the whole library, what happens to any new photos that were added to the library between present day and the date I would be restoring back too?
    Would it be better to move my photos from the app Iphoto to a documents folder for future use?  This is assuming that in a documents folder you can view and just retrieve a single document...  Havent tried it yet but that was my understanding...
    Hope this makes sense
    Many thanks in advance

    Learn from Pondini, who knew more about Time Machine than anyone.
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    See the green box for links for iPhoto instructions according to the version that you might have.
    Would it be better to move my photos from the app Iphoto to a documents folder for future use?
    No. Even if you did this, you would not be able to retrieve individual photos since iPhoto is a special type of package file.
